Import Tips & Compliance

Verify nickel purity exceeds 99% to confirm non-alloyed status; provide mill test certificates

Document cold-forming process in manufacturing records to avoid reclassification as hot-formed

Ensure wire diameter specs match HTS description; common pitfall is mislabeling as alloyed
